Press Bias

I don't have a T.V., but I listen to the radio a good bit when I'm not working. I've noted what can only be viewed as propaganda, at least at ABC. They speak in an excited and upbeat voice when talking Gore and use a more monotone for Bush. The reports about Gore are framed in heroic ways. Gore reveals or states something, whereas Bush alleges something. This is in addition to any negative Bush story being aired, whereas stories such as Lieberman's ( not Gore..this is another one ) eviction of a Jamaican woman that was hurt on his property, or Gore's son's arrest are never reported. Reporting is not what this is. This is propaganda! The press will determine this election. They know that it is a close race and their subtle and not so subtle propaganda will put Gore over the top. They control the public schools and the main elements of the press and are willing to use them in ways that would have been unethical thirty years ago.

The bias you are noting is one of the reasons ratings are dropping for the big 3 network news, CNN, etc, and rising for Fox News.

I hate the bastards. I have nothing but contempt for them. If you sent the whole lot to hell there would be news by morning(according to Gen. Sherman) further, the next day the devil would be demanding their eviction. Too much competition!
 
liberal bias in tv is very real, due to our
liberal public schools and state funded colleges who produce the so called journalism
students.
Make no mistake the liberal elite want total
control to do this they must control the
schools and the media,the results, total loss of freedom unless we can turn it around.
 
Remember when the FOP endorsed Clinton. Big press conference with Clinton surrounded by Chiefs with lots of gold on there sleves (and empty chambers on their sidearms)? I heard on the radio this morning that the FOP addressed Bush......LAST WEEK. I did not see any mention of this in the mainstream media. Did you?
 
Let's not forget that a major wire agency like Associated Press took a biased propaganda press-release from Violence Policy Center and DID THEIR WORK FOR THEM by breaking the press release down into state-by-state reports which AP then released to all 50 states.

Anyone want to guess what would happen if NRA sent AP a press release?
 
Proximo : Just checked out that sight. Great link. I am going to send it to a few of my Gore loving gun grabbing co workers.

I wandered over to CNN's website during talkback live. The young skulls full of mush over there revolted me. They LOVE Gore! Everybody was revolted at Bush's "tax cut for the rich". I tried to explain to them that if your working for more than minimum wage, the Dems consider that rich. I told them I was in the 39% tax bracket and NO ONE believed that a 39% tax bracket existed. Turns out they are all college students without jobs, and have no concept of economics whatsoever. We are in trouble folks...I have seen the future, and it's not pretty!

Anyone here see on Dateline NBC how they took one isolated case of a church school grossly mistreating kids and turned it into an anti-Bush segment?

Dangus
That Dateline last night was one of the most blatant pieces of Gore propaganda I've seen to date by the media. They didn't even attempt to hide their bias. :mad:

This, like your other topics here, Gary, does belong here in the Legal and Political Forum.

You'll find that none of the moderators and administrators have changed their style because of the above referenced thread. We're just getting back to focusing on the goal of The Firing Line a little better.

I predict that the Legal and Political Forum will remain pretty much as it was before. Most frequent posters to this forum are very good at keeping to the subject.
